London bombs: Lawyer wants delay in extradition case

An Italian prosecutor says he is seeking a delay of any decision on the extradition of suspected London bomber Hamdi Issac to Britain, saying on the opening day of the hearing that he wanted to see further documents in the case.

Issac, who was arrested in Rome on June 29, was present at today’s extradition hearing, which began shortly after 9am (8am Irish time) in a Rome court amid tight security, said court official Salvatore Frezzetto.
